Yingyu Zang received his B.A. in sociology from Fudan University in 2021. He is interested in social interaction, ritual/social performance analysis, and ideology in the civil sphere. His current research focuses on the Gen Z’s reluctance in social interaction mediated by narcissism, pluralism, and individualization cultivated by social media. Taking the internet trend #socialphobia as an example, he tries to inspect the meaning-making of social ties and the ideology mechanism in contemporary everyday life.
